Description

The Riptide Slipover is a cropped slipover with a charming lace-textured central panel in the front and back, now with expanded options for customization! Choose between a classic crewneck or a chic V-neck style, opt for a shaped waist or relaxed fit, and decide on either a split or non-split hem. With seamlessly integrated armhole bands, this versatile slipover can be worn as a sleeveless tank or as a layering piece. Perfect for everyday wear over a shirt or dress, or dressed up with smart trousers or a skirt, the Riptide Slipover adapts effortlessly to any occasion.

Knitted in &Make DK, a fine blend of linen, soft alpaca, and strong Highland wool, this lightweight yarn ensures both breathability and warmth, making it the perfect choice for creating a versatile summer layer with impeccable drape and texture.
